About this title

Synopsis

Photographer Bruce Heinemann and author Tim McNulty consider our relationship to nature, and how the perception of beauty informs and influences how we see ourselves in the natural order of things. In his three essays, McNulty considers how our lifestyles and economic activities have impacted the natural and long-standing processes of our global ecosystem. His essays are as poetic and eloquent as they are insightful, as he asks us to contemplate how we might in our own lives make the choices necessary to live more in harmony with the earth's natural processes. While McNulty's essays may prompt us to reevaluate our relationship to the natural world, Bruce Heinemann attracts our attention by presenting his striking images that bear witness to the richness and diversity of the natural landscape. His explorations lead him from the simple elemental designs of soft evening light on sand dunes to the complex abstract of colors, textures, and shapes of an arid wetland. His images, both subtle and grand, are an expression of the masterpiece, this living painting, that we call nature. If beauty is indeed the language of nature, his photographs speak clearly.
